It used to be that way, but these last 5 years, C# and .Net have grown a lot. If given the choice, i would choose C# every time; Such a pleasant language to program in. All desktops support, native binary compilation, easy (easier?) interop with native code. Lot's of features to promote performance, like structs by reference, explicit stack allocation etc. Well I'm a game developer so for me it's perfect; That said, i remember reading D's specification and really liking it. As it never gained much of a traction with gamedev I looked away. Who knows, maybe in the future.
